' l-GIaim. (c1.- 2so-134 This invention relates to that type of blower inwhich the fan blades employed are so consti'ucted that a'maximum input of air is propelled substantially parallel with the axis of the tan and is diverted radially outwardly b'ythe tan in an eflicient and eiiectlve manner to create a maximum output 01 air. The primary object or the invention is to positively propel a maximum current of air in-the manner stated witha minimum of power. A further obiectistheproductlonotablowerofthetype,

stated which is readily applicable for the various uses for which air blowers are ordinarilyemployed. Among rurther objects are simplicity oi 5 construction and ter efiectiveness in use.

'I In the drawing, Aindicates our improved blower, which is composediof a plurality of spiral air driving blade members 28, radiatingirom a hub 5. portion 0, the latter being employed for mount- -ingthe blower on a element such as a shaft Dor. any other suitable rotatable member 'Thesespiralbladeextendlongiwith the ilow of date engage and iorce air into created by the fan. These spirals produce what is commonly termed blade adapted I vortex of the fan,

by overcoming any tendency for air to lag behind the effective driving eil ort exerted by'the blower blades.

The blower blades E may if desired be away along its inner edge at ill sufliciently to a i remove all dead or ineffective air driving surface therefrom. The oppositesideedges at ii and I2 oi'the blower blades E mayfalso ii desired, be cupped forwardly to assist in preventing air from spilling off of the blower blade at its forward and lo rearward portions and thetip edge "of the blower blade may it desiredrbe curved back to more readily release the air propelled by the blower blade cent'riiugally.
